Exeter Phoenix

Bang in the heart of the city centre, Exeter Phoenix is a vibrant, world-class multi-artform venue. We are home to several art galleries, a theatre, gig spaces, art studios, dance studios, a cinema, film production resources and more, all centred around a buzzing Café Bar. Each year we host hundreds of events and artistic activity spanning contemporary art, live music, DJs, cinema, theatre, dance, comedy, talks, creative courses, family events and everything in between.

As well as hosting hundreds of events each year, we nurture a thriving arts scene through our Creative Hub, which supports artists, musicians, theatre companies and filmmakers at every stage of their career. Through the Creative Hub, Exeter Phoenix has helped launch the careers of award-winning filmmakers, developed quality work that has gone on to tour nationally, and provided a support network for those looking to embark on creative endeavours for the first time.

Situated on the Exeter Ship Canal, you cannot beat the Double Locks for its location. Whether you’re after a family day out, celebrating a birthday, engagement, retirement, or just wanting a lazy summer's afternoon next to the water, the Double Locks is for you.
